Free photo shoots have been organised for dog lovers in the Lake District to get them in the Christmas spirit.

Hosted by Allan Bank, the former home of William Wordsworth in Grasmere, the Santa Paws Festive Studio will run on both December 1 and December.

Individual sessions will last 15 minutes each between 10am and 2.30pm on both days, and they will come at no cost for those looking to take advantage of the offer.

The pictures will be captured by professional dog photographer Shaun Barr who will help create the perfect festive memento to share with friends and family this December.

The garden loggia at Allan Bank to the rear of the building will be transformed into a pop up festive photo studio, with standard admission prices in effect for the National Trust site.
